Indian weddings can be grand, glorious spectacles that are a delight to attend, even if you don't know the couple getting hitched. BBC reports that they're so much fun that some entertainment venues are throwing fake weddings and selling tickets to people who like a good wedding party.
At the center of this trend is the sangeet--a music and dance party traditionally held before the actual wedding. This is what people enjoy, whether or not there's a couple getting married. 2,000 people attended a recent staged sangeet in Bengaluru. It was so popular and financially successful that similar events are now being planned across the country.
